20 TV show deaths we still haven’t gotten over

Finn Hudson's death in Glee was unexpected, as creator Ryan Murphy worked the storyline into the show's fifth season after the actor who played Hudson, Cory Monteith, tragically died in 2013 due to combined drug intoxication. The episode, titled "The Quarterback," was seen by over seven million viewers and received positive feedback from critics. 

David Rosen's death in Scandal still doesn't make sense to us. The "gladiator in a suit" survived much controversy throughout the show's seven seasons, so to have him smothered to death by the former Vice President in the series finale feels kind of ... off. 

Lincoln Campbell became the ultimate hero in the TV show Agents of SHIELD after he sacrificed himself in a nuclear explosion to save those closest to him during a pivotal time in the series. 

Another Grey's Anatomy death that makes us tear up whenever we see it is that of George O’Malley. The surgical intern was pronounced brain dead (intense, we know) after being hit by a bus (yes, even more intense) during a dramatic Season 6 episode in 2009.  

Succession fans knew former CEO and businessman Logan Roy would die eventually; however, that didn't make his death on a private jet during a random episode in the fourth season any easier to deal with. Plus, to make the scene even more emotional, while Roy was receiving chest compressions, his children had to say their final goodbye to him while taking turns speaking on a cell phone. 

Derek Shepherd's death in Grey's Anatomy was not easy to deal with; however, it saved many hearts from being shattered in future seasons. Plus, other "dreamy" doctors would eventually join the cast as the show progressed. 

Poussey Washington's emotional death in Orange Is The New Black came during the fourth season's penultimate episode when the inmate was accidentally killed during a prison protest. The unexpected death sparked chaos in the prison, as the complaints from those jailed regarding the building's correctional officers were finally being heard.

We're still not okay with Shonda Rhimes, Peter Nowalk, and the ABC family for killing off How To Get Away With Murder's marquee player, Wes Gibbins. His girlfriend's father murdered him after almost uncovering a massive secret. 

Although in the land of make-believe, President Fitzgerald Grant had a valid reason for murdering Verna Thornton in Scandal after learning she rigged the election that got him the White House, seeing her go out the way she did hurts every time. 

The death of James Evans in Good Times shook many people up as there was no wrap-up to his storyline. Fans of the show learned of his passing during the Season 4 premiere, where the character revealed Evans died in a car accident moving to Mississippi. 

Another Scandal death that took us by surprise was that of James Novak. The journalist, also known as "Publius" in the series, was close to uncovering damaging secrets about the White House administration before Jake Ballard, Command of the fictional B613, murdered him in the middle of the street. He deserved so much more. However, we think it's safe to say he got his revenge in the end. 

Another TV show character shot while trying to protect someone they love is Villanelle from the thriller Killing Eve . The character, played by Jodie Comer, died in the series finale moments after reconnecting with Eve, played by Sandra Oh.

Deaths in the TV show Power were a common occurrence, but Ghost being shot by his son, Tariq, is one nobody saw coming. 

JT went through so much on Degrassi, and he'd become many watchers' favorite character, including ours. So, when the high schooler was stabbed outside of a party during a heartbreaking Season 6 episode, it shook us up completely. His friends found him outside before rushing him to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. 

The hardest part about watching Nic's death in the USA TV show The Resident wasn't the car accident but how painful it was to see her partner Conrad struggle with the decision to take her off of life support after she'd been declared brain dead. "I can't. I can't let go," he says during the emotional episode. "What if we do this, and it's the end? And I can't ever talk to her again." Tears flow every time. 

Will Gardner from the TV show The Good Wife was shot in one of the most unexpected ways. After his client, who was struggling with mental health issues, began lashing out in court, he grabbed a bailiff's gun before turning to shoot his attorney. 

After a rival prison gang member's daughter is murdered in the FX show Sons of Anarchy, Opie Winston, played by Ryan Hurst, is beaten to death with a pipe during an emotional scene in the show's fifth season. 

Keith was loved by many on One Tree Hill, so moving on from his death was a bit of a challenge. But what makes his storyline so emotional for us as viewers is that his death came at the hands of his brother, Dan. 

To round this list off, we have to mention Glenn Rhee's tragic death during the Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead. His storyline coming to an end was already a lot to deal with, but to have him die so brutally at the hands of Negan with a baseball bat was almost too much for us to take as viewers. 

Bonnie Winterbottom was Annalise Keating's right-hand man in the ABC series How To Get Away With Murder. Unfortunately, the associate attorney's story was cut short when she died in the middle of the crossfire while trying to save her friend, Frank, during the show's explosive sixth season.
